On the morning of September 29 (Vietnam time), Inter Miami will host Charlotte in the 31st round of the 2024 MLS Eastern Conference.
Determined to win all 3 points to maintain their top position, Inter Miami proactively attacked from the very first minutes of the match. With Lionel Messi as the "fuse" in attack, the home team created a series of scoring opportunities towards Charlotte's goal.
However, these opportunities continuously passed as the home strikers could not convert them successfully. Charlotte also had a few notable counter-attacks but still no goals were scored in the first half.
Entering the second half, Charlotte unexpectedly scored in the 57th minute after Swiderski's shot hit an Inter Miami player before going into the net.
However, it only took Inter Miami 10 minutes to bring the match back to the starting line when Messi scored a tricky shot, bringing the home team a 1-1 equalizer.
After Inter Miami's equalizer, the match became tense with tit-for-tat situations between the two teams.
Inter Miami seemed to have been awarded a penalty in the final minutes of the match, but after a VAR review, the referee overturned the decision. Charlotte also had a goal disallowed for offside.
Although Messi created more opportunities, his lack of finishing caused Inter Miami to accept a 1-1 draw.
With 1 point, Inter Miami continues to lead the 2024 MLS Eastern Conference standings with 65 points after 31 matches, 8 points more than second-placed Columbus.
